VERSO / On the tips of our tongues goes virtual. This edition of VERSO is curated by Yun Ingrid Lee and was cancelled twice (first due to Storm Ciara and second because of COVID-19). The virtual show will go live on Sunday, April 26, 20:00 EST. Tune in here: https://youtu.be/8eq3I3QMl4o.
In Greek mythology, Lethe was a river that the souls of the dead drank from to forget all earthly memories. And so the word "Lethology" was given to the phenomenon of having a word stuck on the tip of your tongue. In this edition of VERSO / we retune our ears to hear differently, explore loss and linguistic memory, the generative space of misunderstanding, and the (in)capacity of language systems to represent a full spectrum of identities and ideas.
